That whole repenting all the time thing... that's just too out there man. I think we sorta repent enough to believe the gospel - then we just sorta do better for a while, until we develop a nice religious "rut" - thereafter we just attend the regular functions of the church as a good "member" and who cares if years of doing so doesn't change us one lick? We're going to heaven, right?

Seriously though, well meaning Christians are typically brought into the "business of church" (the meetings, the bible studies, the prayer groups, etc.) without actually entering into the walk itself (repentance, and trust in Christ not only to get us into heaven, but to empower our obedience so that we live lives that serve one another, and bring glory to God). Good, honest, Christians fall into the religion not knowing there is a life. Whole congregations can become little more than sleeping saints - saints who have never known real, lasting joy, and aren't even looking for it.
